The Rosa Luxemburg Foundation (German: Rosa-Luxemburg-Stiftung e.V.; Abbreviation: RLS), named in recognition of Rosa Luxemburg, and occasionally referred to as Rosa-Lux, is a transnational alternative policy lobby group and educational institution, centered in Germany and affiliated to the democratic socialist Left Party. The foundation states that it "stands for democratic socialism with an unwavering internationalist focus" and is "committed to a radical perspective emphasizing public awareness, education, and social critique."[1] The foundation was established in Berlin in 1990 (originally as the "Social Analysis and Political Education Association").[2] It is one of the state-subsidized German political foundations, each one of which is associated with, but operates independently of, a political party represented in the federal parliament;[3] for 2018, Rosa Luxemburg Foundation received €64 million from the German government.[4]

In July 2025, the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation was declared an undesirable organization in Russia.[5]
